This interesting work of converting at a not excessive cost the area of Jones Falls into a needed highway of excellent grade by covering it with concrete arches was so far advanced in 1912 as to assure its completion from north of Bath street to Baltimore street by August, 1913. Railway tracks will be under the Fallsway. The work abolishes bridges, excludes smells and mosquitoes and POPULATION OF THE United STATES 91,972,266. U. S.

Includes 953,243 persons in Porto Rico (1899 census). + Decrease. Indian Territory ranked 39 in population in 1900, but for comparison the population is included in the Oklahoma figures.

The first figure of population above stated, 93,402,151, includes Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Military and Naval persons abroad, but not other possessions of United States.

The times of high water at the following places may be found for each day by adding to or subtracting from the time of high water at Baltimore the hours and minutes opposite the name of the place for which time of high water is wanted. Calendar of months shows high tide at Baltimore. To find the high water at Havre de Grace, for instance, March 1st, 1913, find the times of water at Baltimore, which are 12h. 57m. A. M. and 2h. 24m. P. M. To these add 2h. 39m., as found in the above table, and we have 3h. 36m. A. M. and 5h. 3m. P. M. as the time of high water at Havre de Grace on that day. PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE. Under heavy buildings use 2 parts of cement, 5 parts of sand and 9 parts of broken stone. The proportions of 1:2:5 are good; that is, 1 barrel cement, 9 cubic feet of sand and 204 cubic feet of stone, making 21.5 cubic feet of concrete. To mix, spread the sand on a tight floor and put the cement on the sand. Mix with hoe thoroughly. Dump the stone on top. Work over dry with shovels. Keep working while water is added with a sprinkler on end of hose. Work over twice after water is added, using only so much water as will enable the mortar to coat the stone completely and flush to the surface when tamped. Best have the water at about 65° Fahrenheit. EASTER SUNDAY. Showing the date of Easter Sunday for twenty-six years of the twentieth century. MARYLAND STATE BAR ASSOCIATION. President-Judge A.
